In today's business world, sustainability is not just a trend but a necessity. For small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), robust sustainability efforts not only have a positive impact on the environment but also offer a range of significant business benefits.

Larger companies are increasingly demanding that their suppliers adhere to sustainability principles, meaning that SMEs that do not adapt risk losing important business opportunities. Additionally, it becomes easier to secure loans and investments when businesses can demonstrate active engagement in sustainability, as many financial institutions prioritise sustainable investments. Customers are also becoming more conscious of sustainability issues and prefer to buy from companies that take responsibility, increasing the attractiveness of SMEs in the market. A solid sustainability strategy also leads to enhanced competitiveness by reducing costs, improving efficiency, and strengthening brand value.

Our services are tailored to meet the needs and budgets of small and medium-sized enterprises, and we focus on effective and cost-saving sustainability solutions.

Our Services:

  • Development of a sustainability plan: Identifying and setting goals for reducing environmental impact leads to cost savings.
  • GHG calculations: It is increasingly common for larger companies, which rely on SMEs as suppliers, to request measurements of greenhouse gas emissions. By measuring and reporting emissions, smaller companies can not only maintain their competitiveness but also understand and reduce their climate impact.
  • VSME Standard: Implementing this standard ensures a structured and effective sustainability approach. VSME is a voluntary sustainability reporting standard developed by EFRAG specifically for SMEs to facilitate uniform sustainability reporting across both large and small businesses.
